Hey everyone
 A few weeks back I installed a SpreeLED kit in blue into my guage cluster. Recently, I have found that the RPM gauge's needle has been flickering after running the car with the lights on for about 10 minutes. Then again today, after a run to the servo, the speedometer started flickering too. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it, so if anyone has had the same problem or knows what's wrong, would you please be able to chime in and help me out? It's not that big of a deal, but I have no doubt it would be distracting at night. Cheers and God bless, Ben |

its due to a poor connection between contacts, eventually it will cause a buildup of copper corrosion.
the bulbs already stuffed, youll need to replace the bulbs, clean the contacts, the corrosion could go far up the lighting loom too
